4 To the Board of Trustees Oakland Community College INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT October 8, 2008 We have audited the accompanying basic financial statements of Oakland Community College (the College ) and its discretely presented component unit as of and for the year ended June 30, 2008, as listed in the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the College s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of Oakland Community College as of June 30, 2007, were audited by other auditors whose report dated September 12, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the 2008 basic financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oakland Community College and its discretely presented component unit as of June 30, 2008 and the changes in its financial position and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued under separate cover our report dated October 8, 2008 on our consideration of the College's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit New King Street Suite 200 Troy, MI Fax

5 The management's discussion and analysis presented on pages 3 though 13 is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplemental information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management, regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplemental information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements of the College taken as a whole. The other supplemental information identified in the accompanying table of contents is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This information has been subjected to the procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole

9 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Operating Revenues Operating revenues include all transactions that result in sales and/or receipts from goods and services, such as tuition and fees, and bookstore operations. In addition, certain federal, state, and private grants are considered operating if they are not for capital purposes and are considered a contract for services. Operating revenues consisted of the following during the years ended June 30: Tuition and fees -net of scholarship allowance of $8,904,838, $7,488,000 and $6,784,000 in 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively $ 30,393,301 $ 30,022,481 $ 29,622,323 Federal grants and contracts 2,790,226 2,412,789 2,811,403 State grants and contracts 4,086,135 4,830,313 5,160,216 Nongovernmental contracts 373, , ,060 Auxiliary activities 12,632,396 11,171,066 10,856,765 Miscellaneous 953,340 1,051,705 1,190,274 Total operating revenues $ 51,228,821 $ 49,848,158 $ 50,115,041 The following is a graphic illustration of operating revenues for fiscal year 2008: Student tuition and fee revenue increased by approximately $371,000 during the year ended June 30, Tuition rate increases were limited to the rate of inflation during this period, continuing the College's desire to assure affordable education for its students.

10 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Auxiliary services revenue increased by approximately $1,500,000 during the year ended June 30, 2008, due to the increased cost of textbooks. Student tuition and fee revenue increased by approximately $400,000 during the year ended June 30, The increase is principally due to a 2 percent increase in enrollment during this period. Tuition rates were limited to the rate of inflation during this period, continuing the College s desire to assure affordable education for its students. Overall, when combining nonoperating and operating revenues, of all loans, total federal grants and total contracts, federal financial assistance awards increased, due to the declining economic conditions in southeastern Michigan during the three years ended June 30, Auxiliary services revenue was relatively flat during the two years ended June 30, Operating Expenses Operating expenses are the costs necessary for the College to conduct the programs necessary to carry out the primary purposes of the College. The operating expenses for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006 consisted of the following: Instruction $ 55,408,483 $ 53,394,519 $ 54,009,371 Information technology 9,572,805 8,961,962 8,699,003 Instructional support 25,302,979 20,887,044 20,774,017 Student services 34,920,767 31,130,187 30,036,760 Institutional administration 14,616,646 14,794,325 13,583,132 Operation and maintenance of plant 15,627,929 17,684,444 16,826,846 Depreciation expense 12,028,020 10,836,125 10,208,442 Public services 369, , ,703 Other expenses - 52,643 70,158 Total operating expenses $ 167,846,938 $ 158,179,329 $154,843,

11 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The following is a graphic illustration of operating expenses for the year ended June 30, 2008: The primary operating expenses of the College are salaries, payroll taxes, and related fringes. The College incurred approximately $108 million, $102.7 million and $100.1 million of payrollrelated expenses during the three years ended June 30, This represents 60 percent, 62 percent and 63 percent of the College's operating expenses during those years, respectively. The increase in payroll-related expenses during this period primarily resulted from the following factors: Cost of living increases for all faculty and administration covered under union contracts. An increase in the MPSERS retirement contribution rate from percent to percent in 2006 and percent in 2007, net of a $1,872,000 credit issued by MPSERS in Rising health care costs experienced across the College s various health and dental plans. Depreciation is another primary factor of the increase in operating expenses during 2008 and As the College continues to invest in new capital assets, the depreciation expense associated with the assets continues to rise. In 2008, depreciation expense increased by approximately $1.2 million from In 2007, depreciation expense increased by approximately $600,000 from

12 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Nonoperating Revenues Nonoperating revenues are all revenue sources that are not a result of College operations. They consist primarily of Pell grant revenue, state appropriations, property tax revenue, investment income (including realized and unrealized gains and losses. Nonoperating revenues for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006 consisted of the following: Pell grant revenue $ 12,860,165 $ 9,927,860 $ 9,125,467 State appropriations 21,469,602 15,841,000 19,063,100 Property taxes 98,852,768 96,075,189 89,673,237 Investment income 9,335,397 8,469,117 5,987,791 Unrealized gain (loss) on investments 951,539 1,167,624 (1,805,036) Total nonoperating revenue $ 143,469,471 $ 131,480,790 $ 122,044,559 The following is a graphic illustration of nonoperating revenues by source for fiscal year 2008: - 9 -

13 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The increase in state appropriations is due primarily to $1,771,400 of state aid payments from fiscal 2007 that were delayed until October 2007 and recognized as revenue in The increase in enrollment and the declining economic conditions in southeastern Michigan during the three years ended June 30, 2008 resulted in increased federal financial assistance to students in the form of Pell grants. Property tax values increased approximately 4.2 percent from 2006/2007 to 2007/2008. There was no increase from 2007/2008 to 2008/2009. The net result was an increase to property tax revenue of $6.4 million and $2.8 million for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The millage rate for years 2006, 2007, and 2008 was Investment income increased from 2006 to 2007 and 2007 to 2008 due to rising interest rates on money market, certificate of deposit investments, and external investment pools. The weighted average investment rate was 3.61 percent for fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, and 4.68 percent for the year ended June 30, 2007, and 4.84 percent for the year ended June 30, During 2007, market conditions of U.S. agency investments improved resulting in an approximate $3 million increase in unrealized/realized investment income. Statement of Cash Flows Another method to assess the financial health of the College is to look at the statement of cash flows. Its primary purpose is to provide relevant information about the cash receipts and cash payments of an entity during a period. The statement of cash flows also helps assess: An entity's ability to generate net cash flows from operations Its ability to meet its obligations as they come due, and Its needs for external financing Following is a comparative analysis of the cash flows of the College for the three years ended June 30: Cash provided by (used in): Operating activities $(105,812,830) $ (91,519,704) $ (94,038,369) Noncapital financing activities 130,384, ,964, ,495,979 Capital and related financing activities (21,096,995) (22,523,052) (20,740,206) Investing activities 1,574,814 (705,454) 3,397,440 Net increase in cash and cash equivalents 5,049,122 10,216,135 6,114,844 Cash and cash equivalents Beginning of year 18,621,138 8,405,003 2,290,159 Cash and cash equivalents end of year $ 23,670,260 $ 18,621,138 $ 8,405,

15 MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS At June 30, 2008, the College had approximately $8.3 million in long-term bonds outstanding and made debt repayments of $1.2 million during the year. More detailed information about the College's long-term liabilities is presented in the notes to the financial statements. Supplemental Combining Schedules The College completed the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 with an increase in General Fund net assets of $1.5 million. The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the College. At June 30, 2008 the General Fund's net assets were $32.0 million. The increase to the General Fund net assets primarily resulted from increased property tax revenue, which was offset by an increase in general operating expenses, and transfers principally for planned future capital expenditures. The Designated Fund, Auxiliary Activities Fund, Restricted Fund, Student Loan Fund, Endowment and Similar Funds, and Plant Funds comprise the remaining net assets. The Designated Fund's net assets are designated for various instructional programs, including workforce development, future retirement costs, and rising health care costs. The Auxiliary Fund's net assets are designated for various improvements and future operations at the College's bookstores. Plant Funds are unrestricted and are tentatively designated for various capital projects which include projects that are noted later in this analysis. Economic Factors that will Affect the Future The economic position of the College is closely tied to that of Oakland County and the State of Michigan. The board of trustees approved an increase of 3 percent in tuition rates effective with the fall 2007 term and 2.7 for the fall 2008 term. The board guaranteed that tuition rate adjustments would not exceed the rate of inflation or 3 percent, whichever is less. It is expected that Oakland County's property tax values will decline due to economic conditions. Payroll and related expenses represent approximately 60 percent of the total expenditures reported on the June 30, 2008 statement of revenue, expenses, and changes in net assets. The College anticipates that payroll costs will continue to grow in the future, along with general increases in employees' salaries and the MPSERS contribution. The College has planned capital expenditures for the next five years of approximately $100 million to include both renovations and ongoing maintenance. These capital expenditures in part will be financed with designated plant fund assets

21 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Reporting Entity Oakland Community College (the "College") is a Michigan Community College whose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board and as outlined in the State of Michigan Manual for Uniform Financial Reporting - Michigan Public Community Colleges, The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with criteria established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board for determining the various governmental organizations to be included in the reporting entity. These criteria include significant operational or financial relationships with the College. Based on application of the criteria, the College has one component unit. A component unit is a separate legal entity that is included in the College's reporting entity because of the significance of its operational financial relationships with the College. The Oakland Community College Foundation (the "Foundation") is discretely reported as part of the College's reporting entity (although it is legally separate and governed by its own board of directors) because its sole purpose is to provide support to the College. Audited financial statements of the Foundation may be obtained by contacting Cheryl Kozell, Executive Director of Advancement, 2480 Opdyke Road, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan Significant Accounting Policies Significant accounting policies followed by Oakland Community College are described below to enhance the usefulness of the financial statements to the reader: Basis of Accounting Oakland Community College The financial statements of the College have been prepared using an economic resources management focus and the accrual basis of accounting. This means that private sector standards of accounting issued prior to November 30, 1989 generally are followed to the extent that those standards do not conflict with guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The College has elected not to follow private sector standards issued after that date. Under the accrual basis, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when an obligation has been incurred

22 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Basis of Accounting Component Unit The foundation is a nonprofit organization that reports under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) standards, including FASB Statement No. 116, Accounting for Contributions Received and Contributions Made, and FASB Statement No. 117, Financial Reporting for Not-For-Profit Organizations. As such, certain revenue recognition criteria and presentation features are different from GASB revenue recognition criteria and presentation features. With the exception of necessary presentation adjustments, no modifications have been made to the Foundation s financial information in the College s financial report for these differences. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. Investments Investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost, or market. Capital Assets Capital assets consist of property and equipment that are stated at cost, or, in the case of donated property, at estimated fair value on the date the gift was received. Depreciation is provided for property and equipment on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Expenditures for property and equipment greater than $5,000 are capitalized. Revenue All transactions that result in sales and/or receipts from goods and services, such as tuition are classified as operating revenue. All revenue sources that are primarily nonexchange in nature in which the College received value without directly giving equal value in return are classified as nonoperating revenue

23 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for uncollectible accounts of $198,000 and $208,000 as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established using a general valuation allowance based on historical loss experience. All amounts deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance in the period that determination is made. Expenses Operating expenses include the cost of services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating expenses. Revenue Recognition The College is a state-assisted institution of higher education that receives a subsidy from the State of Michigan. This subsidy is determined annually based upon a formula determined by the State of Michigan. State appropriations are recognized in the period to which they pertain. Property tax revenue is recognized on the accrual basis of accounting in the period for which the taxes are levied. Taxes have historically been assessed in the summer and are due by September 15. Taxes are collected substantially by the County of Oakland (among other taxing jurisdictions) and remitted to the College primarily from August to October. Delinquent real property taxes receivable are purchased by Oakland County's delinquent tax revolving fund in approximately March of each year. Revenue received prior to year end that is related to the next fiscal period is recorded as unearned revenue. This consists primarily of $2,510,000 of unearned tuition revenue for the 2008 summer semester, which began on May 5, 2008 and ended on August 19, 2008, and $2,397,000 of unearned tuition revenue for the 2007 summer semester, which began on May 7, 2007 and ended on August 22, Unrestricted Net Assets Unrestricted net assets represent net assets that are not subject to externally imposed restrictions

An estimated $2,022,522 and $2,000,000 of cash and certificates of deposit was covered by FDIC insurance and approximately $35,946,902 and $28,202,243 of cash and certificates of deposit was not covered by FDIC insurance at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

RETIREMENT PLANS Defined Benefit Pension Plan Plan Description The College participates in the Michigan Public School Employees' Retirement System (MPSERS), a statewide, cost-sharing, multiple employer defined benefit public employee retirement system governed by the State of Michigan that covers most employees of the College. The MPSERS provides retirement, survivor, and disability benefits to plan members and their beneficiaries. The Michigan Public School Employees' Retirement System issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and

29 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS required supplementary information for the MPSERS. That report may be obtained by writing to the MPSERS at P.O. Box 30171, Lansing, Ml Funding Policy Employer contributions to the MPSERS result from the effects of implementing the School Finance Reform Act. Under these procedures, the College is required to contribute the full actuarial funding contribution amount to fund pension benefits, plus an additional amount to fund retiree health care benefit amounts on a cash disbursement basis. The rate was percent of the covered compensation to the plan for the period July 1, 2006 through September 30, 2006 and was percent for the duration of the 2006/2007 fiscal year and July 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007 of the 2007/2008 fiscal year. From Oct 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008, the rate was percent. On June 6, 2007, MPSERS issued a $1,872,000 credit to the College as a result of the change in certain actuarial assumptions used to determine the plan s funding levels. The credit was available to reduce the College's contributions to the plan during May through August The College recorded the credit as a reduction to retirement expense during The payroll for the College's employees covered by MPSERS was $64.6 million, $66.7 million, and $66.1 million for fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. The MPSERS board of trustees sets the employer contribution rate based on the annual required contribution of the employers (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) of the plan over a period not to exceed thirty years. The College's contributions to the MPSERS plan were $10 million, $11.6 million, and $10 million for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. Postemployment Benefits Under the MPSERS Act, all retirees participating in the MPSERS pension plan have the option of continuing health, dental, and vision coverages. Retirees that have this coverage contribute an amount equivalent to the monthly cost for Part B Medicare and 10 percent of the monthly premium amount for the health, dental, and vision coverages. Required contributions for postemployment health care benefits are included as part of the College's total contribution to the MPSERS plan discussed above. Defined Contribution Plan Existing professional MPSERS members and new professional employees of the College may elect to participate in an optional retirement program (ORP) in lieu of participating

30 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS in the MPSERS plan.
